Re: Yes, it's time to start that log.
I think MS will actually learn a few things, and make some improvements in Win 7. But maybe not in areas that will really matter long-term, like a key one you mention: DRM. People are really starting to take note, and that's going to be the issue that drives me (for one) into open-source arms.
I've got a Toshiba HDD that runs on an embedded Linux OS, but is still so stuffed with DRM that I can't get any of my recorded TV content off of the #@&! thing. Things are a little better with mainstream OS computers, what with all the tools and hacks available to users, but both Apple and MS are pushing the DRM wherever they can.
No question about it: my next set-top HDD is going to be a home-made box with free (as in freedom) software. Commercial DRM is getting ridiculous, and is going to bite its backers.
